Thanks Nigel, An MG Midget, but in reality a Sprite, they, " BMC " got several people to come up with a new body style on the Bug-eye platform, Donald Healey's boys did a design and MG did one [ " Sid Enever " ] and this was the result the AH Sprite Mark 2, is the MG Midget Mark 1 this would be an MG Midget Mark 2 or 3, as has wind up windows, and looking at the tonneau a Mark 3, the hood folded down, not removable and stowed in the boot like the previous models. 1275 engine if standard,looks great on the " Minilite " wheels, whether genuine or replica

As can be seen the Monaro has period shocks and springs, definitely doesnt go round corners like it on rails.
And note the body roll.

All I know Steve is that it appears to be an original 1963 Porsche 356 GTS
The Porsche was at previous Caffeine & Classics at Smales Farm. (Next one is tomorrow 25th Feb.)
